With new home sales jumping and existing home sales dumping, pending home sales broke the tie this morning with a massive beat (up 5.5% MoM vs 2.5% expectations). NAR's Larry Yun blames the surge in demand on higher stock market prices, warm weather, and fears of higher interest rates.

The cold truth is all these institutional-state-cartel "solutions" serve the few at the expense of the many. This is not a side-effect; it is the intended output of these "solutions." In other words, these "solutions" work great for the parasitic few at the top skimming all the wealth, power and income, at the expense of the exploited many and the stability of the system as a whole.

President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday, repealing many of the environmental regulations introduced by his predecessor Barack Obama and rescinding a moratorium on the leasing of federal land to coal mining companies.

Few appear to have been prepared for the aftermath of the Westinghouse Electric bankruptcy, which has set off a showdown between Toshiba and a major U.S. utility, has left the fate of four half-finished nuclear reactors and is threatening to drive a wedge between the US and Japanese governments over the fate of industries each considers vital.

"What Schiff is doing is making it impossible for President Trump to reduce the dangerous tensions between the nuclear superpowers that the Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes created. These tensions can easily result in nuclear war... It is extraordinary that Schiff, who endangers the existence of all life on planet Earth, is a hero of the liberal/progressive/left."  [How PCR define  left  &“liberal/progressive/left.".. is he part of it?]

"The political parties are an illusion, but there is one thing that is not illusory: the absolute desire of government to rule without the consent of the governed and to relegate the governed to a position barely above that of cattle..."

The Executive Director of the Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the United States, apparently warned President Trump that he could endanger public safety if he follows through with cuts in federal grants to "sanctuary cities"...sure, no irony there.

Unusually gifted individuals come along once in a lifetime to disrupt the plans of the existing social order. Despite the forlorn hope Donald Trump or some other savior can reverse our course, decades of missteps, dreadful decisions, ineffectual leadership, and unconcealed treachery have paved a path to destruction for the American Empire.

[ LE PENG can win in 1st round.. That is why the post below “not to vote” or Vote For "Nobody” ]
What If You Could Vote For "Nobody"?  [[Abstention is valid to face “lesser evil trap” in US & similar. France is the opposite: Le Pen is the greatest chance to kick out US Empire & the EU-NATO ally. The Argt she is rightist, is invalid.. who is not rightist? .. Left (representing workg-classes) doesn’t exist ]]


Polls show close to 40% of French voters are still undecided. That’s a record total this late in the game...  [[ The establishment  is afraid of the 40% .. most of them will vote Le Peng ]]
